Unfortunately, before the start of the 2021-22 offseason Jimmy passed away. Now Kevin is speaking out about his brother and the grief he has felt since Jimmy passed.

Kevin Tributes Jimmy With An Article In The Players' Tribune

On Wednesday an article was published in The Players' Tribune by Kevin Hayes called For My Brother, the Immortal Jimmy Hayes.

He talks about many stories of him and Jimmy growing up together. From road trips with the family to playing at Boston College together. Kevin and Jimmy had about as close a bond as you can as siblings. Kevin also goes on to say that they are going to make Jimmy immortal by keeping his memory alive and never giving up on talking about him.

«Jimmy is not gone. We're still saying his name, every single day.»

Kevin Hayes Opens Up About His Brother's Passing

Hayes then goes on to talk about the tragic circumstances of his brother's passing. Kevin talks about the overdose that took his brother's life and how it can happen to anyone.

It feels surreal, still. It hurts so bad some days that I can barely take it. That's just the truth. It sucks. It sucks to talk about. It sucks to remember. It sucks to know that I'm never going to be able to hear another one of his stories. It just f****** sucks.

But if this story can save one family from the pain that we have been through, then I will talk about Jimmy all day long.

While Kevin is still grieving the loss of his brother and best friend he is trying to help others avoid the situation that his family had to go through. Kevin's story is one that many people can relate to and truly is a beautiful tribute to his brother.

Our thoughts continue to be with the Hayes family as they continue their journey in remembering and honoring Jimmy.
